I found out the hard way you don't need a permit to carry in Texas. On my trip out west in April I was stopped and they found a 45 in my luggage and I was scared to death but they just ran a check on it and put it back in my stuff. He couldn't believe because I had long hair that I didn't have drugs in the car.

I found out a couple of months ago that I have bad blood. My father informed me that my grandfather was a deputy sheriff back in the '30s and asked me if I was interested in having his service revolver. I jumped at that and now have his S&W 32 20.

Yep. Happy to have it. Especially when he died 50 years ago. The sucky part is that I have no one to pass it on to.

Find out who your closest relative is and bequeath it to them in your will. Make sure to write down the story behind it. Your grandfather must have cousins or something.
When all else fails, find your local (gun) museum and see if they'd like it.
Another option is to adopt Mike.

How can the zombies see the clean hair when everyone knows that if you wrap your towel around your head, they can't see you either.

If you have a list of things that you always forget to buy, you'd best add shampoo to it.
Negative habits (where you habitually don't do something) are as hard to break as the common or garden variety.

I have a Samsung ATIV S Windows 8.0 phone. The last update I got was a patched 8.0 firmware update. However 8.1 has been out for some time now, and I know other people (such as my wife with her Nokia 1020 phone) have received the 8.1 update.
I have tried asking my carrier (Bell in Canada) and all they could do was refer me to Samsung. No answer from Samsung at this time. 
Is there anyone out there with the Samsung ATIV S phone that has received the Windows Phone 8.1 update?

My Nokia Lumia 928 hasn't updated yet either. I just checked and it tells me that no updates are available. I also checked the 'Store' and unlike a PC, there is no upgrade to 8.1 feature.

The update has to come through your cell carrier, who gets it from the phone manufacturer (who tweaks the update for the phone-specific hardware). So it won't be available as a store app/upgrade.
I imagine now that Nokia is a MS product this will be pushed through quicker than for other phone manufacturers. However it has been something likes 6 months now...

Good to know. I'm not too worried about it. The 8.0 version does fine, though I have had this thing a little over a year now, and don't utilize many of the features/functions available. For example, I just sent my first email from the phone last week. One of my favorite features is the camera, for reading fine print, or grabbing serial/model numbers, wire configurations, etc.

I actually like both the phone and V8.0 - but I am also working on some new phone apps, and would like to do this with 8.1. And I am also interested in Cortana and integrating apps with that.

Cool concept, ugly wrist band! Now if they would incorporate it into a Propeller cap[^] that would be another matter.

I'm at work on Saturday, copying some data to a thumb drive for a trip to The Home Office that I forgot to copy yesterday. It's said "About 15 minutes remaining" for the last 10 minutes.
Oh great.
Now it says "About 16 minutes remaining"  .

It is not an error so there is NOTHING to fix.
You build a house, lay three bricks on monday. Lay four bricks on tuesday. Averages out to 2.5 bricks. Given that 1000 bricks be needed, one can calculate the days required.
Now, wednesday you only do one brick. Elaborate, how will that affect the total planning?
